The CC:CE supports the shift towards a low-carbon, circular economy and the uptake of climate-friendly, resource efficient technologies – in particular in the area of renewable energy, energy efficiency, water and waste management, and related services – in the markets of the SADC region. We aim to promote bilateral exchange of technology and know-how between Germany and southern Africa.
The objectives of the CC:CE are to:
- Conduct market analyses and provide market information
- Support companies in market entry and market expansion
- Provide advisory services geared towards sustainable and green technology market development
- Represent the environmental technology sector, and provide a network and cooperation platform
To achieve the objectives listed above, we continuously expand our international network in the public and private sectors. Making use of these networks, the CC:CE offers various services to the private sector, including but not limited to, market studies, delegations, business-to-business matchmaking and information events. Through our activities, we endeavour to increase visibility of environmental technologies and connect technology providers with off-takers and implementation partners.
The CC:CE also implements projects funded by the various initiatives of the following German governmental institutions:
- German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action
- German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Security and Consumer Protection
- German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development
